You can now take a piece of our Italian residency adventure home with you.......

For those that missed out on the public presentations I have done since our artist in residency in Umbria earlier this year, you can now cut and paste this link and watch the Prezi on a PC or laptop .... https://prezi.com/hih10gfgvd4_/artist-in-residency/​Our thoughts are with the people and cities of Northern Umbria who are coping with the devastation of the recent earthquakes xxxx​

Travel around Southern Umbria, stay where we were based during the residency, and watch our sculptures, (inspired by the property), come to life! You will also meet the mural artist, Ilya Virachev, who shared the residency experience with us.

I have also chosen my three favourite images and three favourite sketches from my travel journal to be transformed into greeting cards, complete with explanations on the backs! These are available now from my studio, or can be posted....

These three are from my travel journal. The left and right sketches were drawn from the back of the property we were staying, from il Bosco (the woods) looking across the mountain side views. The one in the middle is a 6 hour sketch I drew of the massive ancient Oak tree that our feature sculpture now resides under. I have even hidden three small Racani lizards in the design x (this piece is also available as an A3 print)

These cards feature my favourite images of the two large sculptures we created in Italy, that remain on the property, Podere Conte Racani. From left to right: A detail shot of Racani Yin Yang and the shadows that played on the studio wall. A close up of the verde vetro (green glass) olive oil storage bottle we found and were allowed to use in our second sculpture. This photo is in situ under the Oak tree. ​and our final piece, La Potenza e Armonia della Natura (the Power and Harmony of Nature) photographed near the gorgeous studio door xxxx

At the end of the Prezi is a time lapse video put together by Ilya that features his mural creation as well as us and some sight seeing......I'll add a link here too x ​https://vimeo.com/167567065
